      Problem I often see with veggie burgers is SOME of them just have tons of sodium (which really isn't healthy for you either).

      I still delude myself by getting a diet cola when eating at a 'all you can eat buffet'.:P

  3. The newest member is Canuck War Room.

     

    It must be Benning. 

  4. We drafted more RHD in 24 hours than we have since 2018/2022 combined.

     

    Which means going back to 2003 we have drafted a total of 16 total RHD in 20 years, out of a combined 138 total draft picks.  A total of 11.59% of all of our draft picks spent on RHD in 20 years, arguably our greatest positional need going back to 2003.

     

    That is genuinely an insane stat if you think about it.  it's no wonder we don't have anything in the pipes knowing we went 5 straight draft years without drafting a single one and averaged less than 1 per draft with the bulk of all total RHD being drafted AFTER the 3rd round in that 20 year span.

  5. what would it take to get logan thompson from vegas?

    and the trade demko this year or next?

  6. I wonder what an all star team of first round busts would look like. Alexander Daigle would have to be included I think.

      One might try and argue that for a player that played over 600 games in the NHL, he can't be a bust.  But that ignores the *HUGE* expectations on him.  That and the fact a nobody named Pronger was picked right after him.:P

      One of the things I didn't know how much I missed....large family BBQ gatherings which obviously took a bit of a break over the pandemic protocols.

  11. Flames need a forward, with rumors of Hanifin being moved.

     

    Garland or Beauvillier for Hanafin or Zadorov. May need to add for Hanafin

     

    Assuming you can move Myers contract aswell

      I'd only throw then an anchor in terms of helping the Flames.  And I do mean that literally.

  12. Vegas has smooth skating d-men 6'1 and above, and I think that's the best way to go (best of both worlds).

      heh, Ben Hutton is 6' 3" & 200+ pounds (according to hockeydb.com).  Why the **** can't Gillis draft defenseman?

  13. You know when you wake up in the morning and make coffee and forget to put the coffee part in the coffee maker, but remember the water, and then you look at it in confusion... That happened to me this morning, and then I realized that I didn't add the coffee part! But then I did, and all was great! 

  14. Oh look, after the Canucks are penalized, the rule is modified... Shocking.

  15. Do you just have one of those days that you stay in your sleep wear all day long and don't bother to get dressed and leave the house/condo/apartment??? 

     

    I'm having one of those days! I am still in my sleep wear and may not get dressed nor leave the apartment - It's 2pm you know.

      I *STILL* remember the day I was so tired that I just put on my regular clothes over my "PJs" to my grade 1 class (a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away :P).  Took until around recess for me to realize I had my "PJs" underneath my regular clothes.:ph34r:

  18. Dallas has won three games in Round 2. Joe Pavelski has scored the GWG in each win. He'll be 39 in July and is signed for one more year.  Joe has 1001 points in 1250 games and this season put up 77 points in a full 82 games. Guy's a freak of nature,

  19. i'm afraid that the only way out of cap hell for canucks, is to attach sweetners with some contracts to move them. not ideal but possible the only way. draft picks or prospects.  we should forget about winning every trade.

      OEL will require so much of a sweetner, it'll give that team diabetes.:ph34r:

  20. Was the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery where we had a 12.1% our best lottery odds to date?

    (And we still dropped to 5th but got Petey anyways...)

      @-AJ-  Burke actually worked it out with side deals to get the top & 2nd ranked prospect in that draft.  Atlanta could brag in newspaper promotions about having the 1st overall pick but it was that in name only.  I forgot the compensation Burkie gave for Atlantic not to pick either Sedin with that pick.  Burke really was Monty Hall lol & Atlanta got a 'zonk' gift behind curtain number one.

  22. Is this an age thing? This is the second time I've gone to the pub. Ordered. And given the wrong thing. I know severs get paid crap wages. But pro tip. Pen/ pad of paper. Write down the order and repeat it back to the customer.

      I didn't go to gladstone but I *think* it's still around (and still is in operation).

  24. a weird thought. what if the west finals were between vegas and seattle? the 2 newest teams in the league.

    1. NewbieCanuckFan

      NewbieCanuckFan

      Actually it's not like the NHL doesn't have a history of this.  Go back as far as the 1967-68 season when the first big expansion happened during the 'original six days'.  They (NHL) put all the expansion teams in one division and the "original six teams" in the other division.  The Cup finals would be represented by one team from each division.  This *GUARANTEED* one of the expansion teams to be in the Cup Finals!

       

      Oh, if one doesn't need to dislike the Leafs anymore, the Canucks were supposed to be among the leading contenders to receive an expansion team in that first group but largely as a result of the Laffs veto'ing Vancouver's bid; we had to wait until a few years later.
